A couple months ago, my sister and I were in a shop looking
for some fabrics.. She found a piece of rayon of 0.90m in length, enough for a
shirt or blouse.. Immediately I had an idea to make her a peplum top.. I’m so
happy to have a sister for whom I can sew experimental garments when I’m not
sure if it is something I would wear..
For this top I used the pattern #113 from Burda 08/2012..
This particular pattern has 3 different variations.. #113 is peplum top with
short sleeves, #114 peplum top with long sleeves, and #115 a dress.. I have
already made two dresses using pattern #115, one of which you can see here (Sherry Blossom Girl).. That’s
why at the beginning I knew that it would be better to make the neck opening
wider.. I finished that hem with bias tape.. My second and main modification to the pattern was making closure with
buttons at the back.. It was an easy task to do.. Heart shaped buttons gave a
special cute note to this top.. Without them it would be just another plain
peplum top.. My third and last adjustment of this pattern was shortening the peplum
for about 5cm.. I must admit that I wasn't trying to match the pattern of the fabric.. Looking it up close everything looks the same..
Looking from the back of the top, it seems like the top is not fitting good.. There’s
some extra space at her lower back.. First I thought that I should change
something, but after seeing my sister move and doing normal tasks I realized that
everything is ok.. It’s not like I made this for her so she can only stand and
pose for the photos..
On the last picture you can see technical sketches for all three variations of the pattern I've used for this top.. They are all from Burda 08/2012..
I love your sister's choice of fabric! I've been meaning to make the long sleeved version of this pattern for ages, but had forgotten about it already. Thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteI'm familiar with forgetting the patterns I want to make :) I always liked all the versions of this pattern.. I mostly wear dresses, so the top was left on waiting list.. Hope you'll soon make your top :)
DeleteI love the fabric and the buttons are so cute!
ReplyDeletethanks :) buttons are my favorite detail :)
Delete:) lepa bluzica.. volim taj materijal, steta sto ga odavno nema u radnji.. i super si uklopila saru :) ja sam tek u pola posla skapirala da moram da je uklapam i vertikalno i horizontalno, izbliza kad gledas izgleda kao da nema tih 'linija' i ponavljanja
ReplyDeletei ja sam tek na pola sivenja shvatila to sa linijama.. ako sam ista potrefila to je bilo slucajno :) tako je to nakon duze pauze..
